When you model the Grand Trunk in ME, Maine Centrall RR, and CP's International of Maine Division you need what you need, and that list is what I need.

Longshots:
personally interestng, but not commercialy viable.
DH643
SDP45
SD45X
RS32
SD39
U33C
C855
DD35
Profit makers:SW1500
SW1000
SD40-2
GP40-2W
CF7 (both cabs)
GP50
Intriguing:Logging sized 2-6-2, 2-8-0, 2-8-2, 2-6-6-2 (Sierra Railroad, a gilty pleasure)
UP FEF3
PRR K4
and a whole lot more...
Tivo, the SP had over 200 U33C's...SP soot lovers would buy them up, and since it would only need a new shell to use the Kato U30C chassis.....it would not be a stretch to do it

Ooh, Ooh, I just thought of something else. I wish Micro-Trains would make a body-mounted cushion underframe coupler to poke out from the ends of their appropriate box cars.


Hmm... I wish they
could genetically engineer
a 1-pound termite...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Willingness
to do a SP specific U33C might be hurt by history of the NSN resin shell that reportedly sold poorly although I have been searching in vain for about ten years.  Don't get me wrong, I want two or three but hope is fading that Kato would step up on this one...
